Asumming that by local they mean shell access, init 1 would disconnect you from ssh.

But Linux distros already support UEFI, it could slow adoption of signed boot or whatever it's called.

We need more accountability for cops. A cop has the potential to do a lot more harm than a crooked member of congress. Your elected official can't burst into your house with guns drawn. Your neighborhood cop can.
Preferably, either directly elected cops or an elected board that oversees the police departments. Because in most places the only thing checking your neighborhood cop is.... another cop. Imagine if we had the same thing with politicians with no outside checks.
You mean an elected sherrif?

Come on, my Pentium E3000 with Radeon 5550 and 4GB of ram seems to work nicely with it. So it's probably the NVidia drivers or something.

An 80% tint is just insanely dark—darker than the darkest I've ever seen on any building—that's like pimpmobile window tinting dark. Now if you have an electric car and you want your windows darkly tinted, then maybe, though I suspect an 80% tint is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Not that you care when you're driving along in your tricked-out electric pimpmobile, but.... No, wait....
Perfect for when I open my stripclub.

Out of those 13,000, I closed about 5,000 because the reporters hadn't replied after a certain period of time. It was a cleanup, not proper triage. If we had a quick response time, we probably wouldn't have gotten to 13,000. And unfortunately, without fixing the process, we will be at 13,000 again.
Well don't you think that if even the reporters didn't care about the followup to their bugs it means that either:
- They didn't care anymore
- The bug was "fixed" in a sense since they didn't experienced it anymore

If this happens, the ISS will be temporarily mothballed before the end of the year to avoid landing astronauts during the harsh Kazakh winter."
